Good morrow, sir. I'm Spork.


That's all you really need to know, but if you insist...

I swear. Cunt. See?
I'm British. Cunt. See?
I don't know what to say

I don't really have a favourite console, though I do prefer the 360 pad to the PS3's. With the Wii, my opinion on it is probably the same as most gamers - good, can often be great, but it's mainly used as a cash cow so it ends up gathering dust. I love PC gaming, but my current computer is limited by a crappy Geforce 4 MX. Feel sorry for me! I demand it. I've have all of the big 3 current-gen consoles, and some other consoles that are now apparently retro, but unfortunately at the moment I've only got a PS3, because... meh, it doesn't matter why. Too long of a story, and I'm too lazy to write it out. Oh, and I have a PSP and DS. I try and tabletop game when I get the chance, but due to various reasons I'm not at the moment. Don't much feel like expanding upon those reasons either, because they're all various, and... diverse... and stuff. Oh, and I'm lazy.

And then there's all the lovely fluffy things that come with being a geek. Books, comics, films, music, computers/technology, and such.

So yeah, thanks for reading, if you got this far. It makes me feel all warm, and fuzzy inside. I also have a bon.... disregard what you think I was about to say.

You hear that? That's the simultaneous face palm of the gullible.



So for quite some time now, people haven't been able to understand Bob and his game. People thought that when he said he's better than all other game developers, that he was completely serious. Of course, he was not. He was in fact playing the in game version of him. And that's not all. The in game Bob is the villain. The guy who writes the news updates on bobsgame.com - and that means the guy who trashed his room on the webcam, the man who started the 100 day sit down - is the in game Bob, and the actual hero is called Yuu. Yuu is the hero (geddit?). In the above video the real Bob spells everything out at around the 4:20 mark.

How on earth were people sucked into believing him. He wrote "I am far better than Miyamoto, Itoi, Kojima, Carmack, and Wright COMBINED." And people thought that he was serious. I don't understand how people didn't get the joke, so if you're reading I'd love to know.Admittedly I thought for a little bit that he had simply gone insane, but I re-read his blog and that decided it.

If you were sucked into believing it, was there any point where you thought "hold on, is this guy for real?", or did you just go along with it? Regardless, it's a great marketing scheme, and from what I've seen of the game (gameplay videos below), it looks pretty solid. I'll try and get a hold of it and write a review when it comes out on day 100. Anyone else out there interested in the game or am I alone here?





Is this blog awesome? Vote it up!

so...is it gonna be homebrew?

Is it even a game?! Do I exist? Am I real?
Heh... I'm very interested in this game now... if it exists... my head hurts...
Phallus Knife Fight:

Apparently it's going to be homebrewed, but who knows, it could all be a ruse, to trick us all!

As for the whole meaning of life bit, I couldn't really tell you. I still don't really know what's gong on with Bob, let alone whether or not you're real.
This is really weird. I think I've been mindfucked...
Honestly I was never interested in any of this because there was nothing to be interested in, so regardless if it is really real or really not, I don't give two flying shits about it.

I really think that bob was trolled by 4chan a bit too hard and snapped. also this game looks like a harvest moon rip. ZING!
This is like when Howard Stern says racists, sexist, or other insensitive crap on the radio for attention, and later backs out of his comments by saying "Oh, that wasn't really me, that was just the 'character' Howard Stern. The 'real' Howard would never stuff like that".

Yeah, whatever.
Holmes is right.

This guy still acted like a complete baby because Nintendo didn't want to let his shitty game get official release on the DS.

I still remember after his pointless locking himself in the room strike, he said that in "real life the hero doesn't win" or some bullshit like that.

Maybe his posts were "in character," but if he locked himself inside of his room for a month and then destroyed the place in a hissy fit, he's still retarded. That's like me smashing in the windshield of my car and then saying, "it was all just an act!" I still smashed in the windshield.

He also still harrassed people at the Nintendo store and made a mess of the place with his stupid fliers and posters for the game.

Besides his game looks awful. Oh yay, an RPG set in high school. Sorry Bob but most of us have moved on from high school, we don't see people as "jocks" and "geeks." We don't care about your pent up teenage angst. Grow up.
......um...........um.........I'm very confused right now.......
All I can think of is Dink Smallwood. Argh! Get out of my head! The Ducks! The Ducks!
@SickNasty

I don't know what to think about all this shenanigans at the moment What if you smashed your windshield for an insurance scam? Then you wouldn't just be smashing your windshield. Of course it's going to sound ridiculous out of context. The fact is that it has context, but we don't know which bits were real and which were staged. So I'm not going to be dense enough to say things like:
"This guy still acted like a complete baby because Nintendo didn't want to let his shitty game get official release on the DS."
@Uglyphil:

My point is, context or not, he still did annoying and childish antics to try to get his game developed. Now if his game is released at retail for the DS, and all of that was staged, then I'll eat my words.

Either way he still harrassed and created a mess at the Nintendo World store. He's still a douchebag.

Plus, who the hell is he kidding with that haircut and those boots? It's like he's dressed like the "goth kids" on South Park. Everytime I see that outfit I want to punch my computer monitor.
Bob is still attentioning whoring himself huh? Excuse me while I go back to not caring.
I want my eight minutes and eleven seconds back.
I still fucking hate Bob, and nothings really going to change that.
I hate viral marketing.

Harvest Moon, GTA and Tetris are serving my needs just fine.

No Sale.
Remember that time I accidentally did something really dumb? Yeah well that was totally an act. Yeah. Definitely.
I was hoping he was pulling an Andy Kaufman on us the whole time. Bravo, Bob.

Your game still looks like shit though.
wut
Interesting Game!

<a target="_blank" href="http://www.tietosuccess.com">Silk Ties</a>
Wait, so is it coming to DS or not? Did he really get rejected for a dev kit? If so, is Nintendo in on these shenanigans as well?

Bah. It was cool when it was just a game that a guy really cared about and made byhimself. That would have been enough for me. All this XTREME satire completely kills me interest in the game itself.

The drama is a little interesting though :p
DRAMA!

Meh, who knows how good the game will be. It doesn't seem to have any (might just be very little) combat, so there doesn't seem like there will be much conventional gameplay, and honestly I don't expect it to be mindblowing or anything, but it should be interesting.

Tubatic:

I have no idea whatsoever. I've been following it relatively closely, and either big N are in on the mindfuck, or they really don't want to give him a dev kit. He's been working on it for five years though, so I imagine he's had the story like this the whole time. Would make sense if Nintendo are in on it.
So... Bob's game is actually coming out?
